Exciter (Official Thread)

[muzik_guy]

When I think of Exciter, the term "also ran" comes to mind. Their debut is pretty solid, albeit a bit crude & basic, but they seemed short on creativity more often than not. Beehler's vocal histrionics always bordered on monotonous & at times even grating. Oddly enough, I think the band peaked once Ricci was gone & McPhee stepped in. Though "Unveiling the Wicked" is considered their "jumping the shark" effort, I think it is far & away their most diverse & rifftastic release.

Once Beehler left & Ricci returned, the band just went to shit. I'll buy a beer for anyone who can stomach those dreadful 90's albums. Even the newest frontman just wrecks their sound.

You gotta have Dan in the band.....in alot of ways he was more EXCITER than Ricci to me, though both were important to the band's success.

Somehow got linked to their debut album Heavy Metal Maniac and gotta say I find it kickass. It's interesting searching out these archaic speed metal bands

You like HMM huh?? Very cool!! I think it's the BEST album in the entire collection. It's a smooth spin and I love the muddy simplistic production to it. Nice and dark. The songs are catchy too!!!

Cool band, especially the early albums. I think Exciter and Razor are the quintessence of speed metal. When I listen their early albums I hear 80's spirit as it is.
